About Joanne Hoskins
A Lifelong Connection to Muskoka
A few generations ago, my family bought their first cottage on Lake Muskoka, where we spent our summers surrounded by nature’s beauty. Those early experiences created lifelong memories and sparked my deep appreciation for this incredible region. With its sparkling lakes, stunning sunsets, smooth granite shorelines, fresh air, and star-lit skies, Muskoka truly lives up to the saying: “Once discovered, never forgotten.”
From City Roots to Cottage Country
I was born and raised in Toronto, but it came as no surprise to my family when I followed my heart north and made Muskoka my permanent home. It offered the ideal environment to raise my family—where community, nature, and lifestyle blend seamlessly. Once you’ve experienced Muskoka for yourself, you’ll understand exactly why it’s so easy to fall in love with this place.
Experience You Can Trust
More than twenty years ago, I began my journey in real estate, working in many positions prior to becoming a licensed Sales Representative with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Over the years, I’ve viewed countless waterfront properties across Muskoka, Lake of Bays, and the surrounding areas—each property being uniquely different from another.
My Commitment to You
As a full-time Realtor®, I believe in an approach built on honesty, education, and genuine guidance. I’m committed to staying up to date on the ever-changing real estate market to help my clients make confident, informed decisions. Whether you’re searching for your dream Muskoka cottage, listing your lakefront property, or exploring investment opportunities, I’ll be with you every step of the way—making your real estate journey as seamless and rewarding as possible.
When I ask my clients what they are looking for in a Muskoka cottage property, their answers vary. Every buyer has a different wish list for their ideal cottage property. Waterfront cottage buyers are looking for that place where they can get away, relax and enjoy life with their family and friends and to do that, you need a realtor that knows the area. My grandparents and parents were cottagers here and I have spent the major part of my life living in Muskoka. I offer my clients an abundance of knowledge and experience in selling Muskoka waterfront cottages and homes. Feel free to reach out to me to help you in your search.
As a Cottage owner looking for a realtor to list your cottage, here are a few things to consider. Make sure you have a connection with your realtor, so that from start to finish, it will be a good experience. Hire a local realtor that knows all the area lakes and rivers. Someone you can connect with and trust, that can offer you their experience and knowledge in waterfront property. Cottage property is not like your residential home. Every lake, lot, shoreline and cottage are different and unique.
